[Geoip-php-discuss] problem - blank country data

[James G. <jam...@st...>]

Hi there,

We have a paid subscription to the GeoIP Country database. The .dat file 
has been downloaded to /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat per instruction.

We built a simple PHP interface to this, which acts as a wrapper to your 
own PHP interface in sample.php. We tested this, it worked fine.

We plugged this into a web application on a remote server, and it worked 
fine.

We then plugged the same code into another web application, and it 
returns a blank country on every IP tested (three real-world).

We added lots of debugging. We did echo geoip_country_code_by_addr() 
giving a confirmed real IP address, and we got nothing echoed out (bar 
the IP we were ensuring was valid).

We now have no idea what could be causing it. One app works, the other 
doesn't. Our interface is definitely sending your geoip_... call the 
right data, yet it returns nothing.

It makes no sense at all. Looking for ideas from you whilst we test and 
test again some software upgrades that include geoip as an apache module 
instead.

Thanks,

James Green
